Can I plug the magic jack into my DSL box? or is it only to be plugged into a USB on the computer. My DSL has a USB that isn't being used, then I could leave it on all the time. I wont be getting my system till Monday so I am just checking to see if this would work.
Thanks for the help

Sorry can only be plugged into the usb port of your computer! It needs to install the softphone to work!

AFAIK, MJ does not do any filtering based on IP address, email or host name TLD, etc. I have successfully registered an MJ number from France. However, some foreign ISPs block various ports, which could prevent registration, or could prevent calling even after it was registered elsewhere. If you can test at http://www.testyourvoip.com/ , getting a good score without any warnings about blocked ports, and http://www.showmyip.com/ shows the same IP as your PC (or router or DSL modem) has, then you should have no trouble with MJ.
